In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers return to their cage in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk the latest TV shows. Merrill is giddy about yet irritated at the Emmys, while Kevin is completely confused and insisting that Heroes won best drama and Miley Cyrus was named Best Actress. The confusion is either from old age or the fact that Kevin is now employing the Neil Miller technique to his television viewing. And Merrill quietly accepts it like a trooper. The Idiots talk about what they thought rocked or sucked in the mostly USA Network slate of summer shows, chat about the Emmys and look ahead to a world of on-demand viewing of any and all television shows. And no talk about Flashpoint this week (well… almost).

On This Week’s Show: While Neil is busy transferring FSR HQ to a new, undisclosed location, Kevin invites Tim Buel from The Golden Briefcase into the Magical Studio in the Sky to help suffer through the August doldrums. They contemplate if an Avatar re-release is really necessary for just nine freaking minutes. Then, they contemplate the necessity for a film like Takers. Finally, they contemplate why Lionsgate didn’t widely screen The Last Exorcism for press. This leads to a surprisingly relevant box office discussion about Piranha 3D and its sequel-earning box office disappointment. Tim and Kevin also discuss the future of 3D and lay down a Fat Guy Five about their favorite Devils.
